Reham Gonnah

Reham is a postgraduate researcher at Parker Group. Her PhD project is collaboration between the University of Leeds (School of Dentistry) and Diamond Light Source where her time during the project is split between the two institutions. Before moving to Leeds to start her PhD, she obtained an undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Queen Mary, University of London. Reham’s project is focused on using X-ray techniques, mainly diffraction and tomography, to characterise enamel remineralisation with the use of a self-assembling peptide (SAP) which, hypothetically, acts as a scaffold for hydroxyapatite nucleation.
